BMI Calculator from HEALTH ICON to the healthy life 



The body mass index (BMI) or Quenelle index is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of an individual. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height and is universally expressed in units of kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in meters
The BMI may also be determined using a table or chart which displays BMI as a function of mass and height using contour lines or colors for different BMI categories, and which may use other units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation).
The BMI is an attempt to quantify the amount of tissue mass (muscle), fat, and bone) in an individual, and then categorize that person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on that value. That categorization is the subject of some debate about where on the BMI scale the dividing lines between categories should be placed.[1] Commonly accepted BMI ranges are underweight: under 18.5 kg/m2, normal weight: 18.5 to 25, overweight: 25 to 30, obese: over 30. People of Asian descent have different associations between BMI, percentage of body fat, and health risks than those of European descent, with a higher risk of type2 and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at BMIs lower than the  cut-off point for overweight, 25 kg/m2, although the cut-off for observed risk varies among different Asian populations.                                                                    BMI =Mass kg /heightm2 =Mass kg/Heightm2×703
The BMI is universally expressed in kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in meters. If pounds and inches areused, a conversion factor of 703 (kg/m2)/(lb/in2) must be applied. When the term BMI is used informally, the units arusually omitted.
